git init is creating in incomplete .git folder - how do I fix it?

git init is creating in incomplete .git folder - how do I fix it?

When I used to run git init, I'd get a .git folder that looked like this:
.git
|_config
|_description
|_HEAD
|_hooks/
|_index
|_info/
|_logs/
|_objects/
|_refs/
now, git init is producing this:
.git
|_HEAD
|_config
|_hooks/
|_index
|_logs/
|_objects/
|_refs/
Why isn't it creating info/ anymore - am I missing something obvious or is
something really going wrong? Is there an easy way to fix my git setup so
that git init works properly/like it used to?
